Bridge 69 to Great Haywood, Trent and Mersey

Just a short trip today taking us to a lovely mooring just before Great Haywood.

The view from the boat windows is across the River Trent to the parkland surrounding Shugborough Hall. All that is missing is the herds of Zebra!!

A short walk into the village took us passed the gardens of the Clifford Arms and unfortunately the dog dragged us in. A very dog friendly pub, the chef even came out into the garden to give Bentley some dog biscuits. Only intended to stop for one pint but the Speckled Hen was so good we had to samole more!!!

Spent the afternoon wandering around the grounds of the Hall and bought a new umbrella in the National Trust shop, that should ensure that we get no more rain.
